Episode 228: Finding the Love in Work (with Shelby Jecius and Kyle Alexander)

The TEC Talk Podcast: Presented by Natural Encounters, Inc.

Ari is busy getting ready to visit our team in Rhode Island, so this week Chris is joined by returning co-host Adam Geltz to welcome back to the show two of our favorite people in the animal care world, Shelby Jecius and Kyle Alexander from Bearizona Wildlife Park! The four of us chat about their recent experience of moving from being supervisors into mid-level management, the important influence their leaders have had on the leaders they want to become, how working more (on the right things) can help prevent burnout, and the importance of remembering that there are better places to be miserable than in the animal care field. We like you, Shelby and Kyle!

Oh, and Bearizona COO Dave O'Connell (who makes a brief appearance) is pretty cool too, we guess.

If you have a shout-out you’d like us to share, a question or a topic you’d like us to discuss, or a suggestion for a guest we should have on the show, let us know at [e-mail]!
